Germany told U.S. President Donald Trump’s new national security adviser on Wednesday that Europe remained “very, very united” in supporting a 2015 nuclear deal with Iran because it feared a proliferation of atomic weapons on its doorstep. Trump pulled the United States out of the accord earlier this month, shrugging off appeals from Washington’s European allies which argued that the deal had succeeded in curbing Tehran’s nuclear program in return for a lifting of sanctions. …

The U.S. withdrawal from the accord was a 'violation of morals', Rouhani said in remarks carried by state television. But he said Iran would stick to the deal in return for guarantees on economic sanctions.
